Recommendations for a wifi/bluetooth temp probe with 2 or more probes?

Cooking 2 vastly different-sized turkeys yesterday on my Traeger convinced me I need one.

I have both the Weber igrill and a thermoworks smoke.

I can’t get the Bluetooth from the igrill to penetrate the walls of my house more than like standing by the door. Which does let me stay inside most of the time but at the cost of interrupting what I was doing to check the temps.

The smoke is somewhat better in that I mostly don’t need to be that close but still doesn’t give me whole house coverage.

Anything with a lot of sugar tends to darken stuff, but it wouldn't affect a smoke ring.

Absolutely. Smoked salmon is always THE star at our family gatherings.

Bagel chips/toast points, cream cheese, a bottle of brined capers, fresh dill and finely diced shallots.

Alternatively, just toast points, smoked salmon and a sauce made from 50/50 mayo/buttermilk, chopped capers, dill, shallot, black pepper, pinch of salt.

Record breaking temps plus a huge sale at Costco means I'm smoking 20lb of pork loin today!



Trying out 4 different rubs. Smoking at 200 until internal temp hits 120, then cranking heat all the way up until it hits 140.

I haven't tried pork loin yet, so let me know how it goes!

Is your plan to freeze a bunch of it, then just reheat it for dinner whenever? If so, what is your plan for reheating? Sous vide?

Yup, those were two huge loins that I broke down into 4 parts each. We'll eat one today and then I'll vac seal and freeze all the rest for sous vide reheating. I've never tried it either, but my little bro sent me this video and it looks extremely promising!

Pre-heat smoker to 500
Cut top off pineapple
Use a pineapple cutter to cut the outside crap off and to slice it in half
Cut off bottom of the junk
Coat each side of the halves with a cinnamon and sugar mix
Put pineapple halves on smoker
Flip after 12 mins
After another 12 mins, pull off smoker
Give another light dusting of cinnamon and sugar mix
Slice each half
Drizzle honey over all slices

After Salmonchat I'd be remiss in not posting. I had probably the best ever batch of this out of all the ones I've made in the past.



A big part of it being so good is I got a cut that was barely trimmed at all, so it had a really healthy amount of belly fat on there.
After brining


Smoked it at 180 until the fish hit 125 internally and it was just perfect. Ultra tender and juicy, and those belly pieces were like cotton candy in how they dissolved in my mouth. A+, would smoke fatty rear end fish again.

A pineapple… *googles it* wedger? cores it for you. Mine is like that except instead of cutting it in quarters it does halves.

e:
This would work as well, minus the cutting it into small wedges until the end.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Had a colleague over for some smoked goodness and decided I'd break out my first attempt at pulled pork on my stealth-smoking setup.
Went with the smallest possible pork shoulder I could find at 1,2kg and marinated it over night.

Threw it in at 6am, got up to the stall at 65° inside 6 hours, threw on a rack of ribs for my guest for the next 6 hours, and still felt fairly comfortable about my plans.



Pretty pic with the lone rack of ribs


Just before foiling


One degree before grabbing it off the grill and letting it rest


Gochujang-based buffalo wing sauce on the left, BBQ-sauce on the right


Just after pulling. Turned out absolutely perfect.

*hurk*

So I picked up a 4.5 lbs standing rib roast for christmas dinner and was thinking of cooking it on the pellet grill. Normally I use the reverse sear method in my oven (learned it from Joshua Weisman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzD1bZz_YNc). I got a couple questions though.

What's your guys experience with cooking times to get to an internal of 118°F? I'm thinking of setting the grill temp to 250°F but am wondering if it is going to skyrocket to temp super fast, or take longer than it would in a regular oven.

If I did a oil/garlic/rosemary rub before cooking, is that going to take the smoke well or do something funky? So far I've only salt and peppered my meat before smoking and haven't done an oil rub.

Anyone done a reverse sear in a pellet grill (get the temp to 450°F or higher and cook for 10-15 minutes to get the color on)? I have a slider plate over my burner to sear stuff on exposed flame, but I don't think that's practical for a full roast.

Not pellet grill, but I smoked a prime rib on my mom's Weber kettle last year. Also seasoned with SPG and fresh rosemary and thyme. I want to say temps were around 250F but I don't exactly recall. Turned out amazing. Planning on doing the same thing this year.

e: Went and found my post from last Christmas:

250f is 250f, doesn't matter where it is. That being said, the usual differences between a smoker and oven is that your oven's heating element is way way more powerful, and the box/structure of your oven is insulated better than the smoker (this is the biggie). Your oven's thermal mass is a lot higher than your smoker and is also insulated so all the radiant heat coming off the walls are forced into the food - in addition to the ambient heat. (This is why you preheat an oven for baking - gotta heat up the thermal mass).

Because you basically don't have the insulated thermal mass to get that extra radiant heat, it'll take a longer to cook than normal in a smoker. Some people load up their smokers with sand in the water trays to help increase the thermal mass.

So set your smoker higher than you'd think. Especially if it's a cold day and it's not insulated.

I totally skipped out on your question about time :doh: I think mine a little over an hour to hit around 118F.

e: okay I was way off looking at the videos I referenced for the cook last year. Alton's suggests THREE hours at 250F for a three-bone roast to hit 118F.

What sauce did you make? I’m just going to smear mine (New Years) in bacon fat and salt before it goes on low and slow.

I saw a thing about after the roast has cooled but before you sear it (if you are doing reverse sear) to slather it in softened butter to really make the fat crisp up and add those brown butter notes which is easy enough that did try it and see how it goes.

But man, there’s nothing better than your own spouse picking up something you smoked and being told, “you’re getting really good at this!”

That's cool, I'm cooking for my satisfaction not anyone else's. It's great when people love food I cook but ultimately I'm doing it because it makes me happy.

What is your point here exactly because its not hard to read this as making GBS threads on people having fun doing project cooking.

So on another note: I'd like to find a really ethical butcher - I'd like the animals I eat to have nice lives. Does anyone have a good suggestion that sells on the internet?
